Profiling our People
Trevor and Sharyn Cripps
Franchisor Managers Queensland
Trevor and his wife Sharyn are two of our newest Regional Franchisors. Trevor
has a few words to share with other Jim’s Test & Taggers.
Don’t get hung up on the Territory
Most new and prospective franchisees get too concerned about ‘the territory’.
Mine has a lot of vacant land in it!
I learnt from the start that there is more out there than just your territory.
Go and get what you want because you can. Besides, customers that approach you
invariably come from ‘out of territory’.
We should be thinking about how more and more vans on the road will impact our
target market’s perception of us (Look! There goes another Jim’s Test & Tag
van!). I put the Jim’s Test & Tag logo on the spare wheel cover of my other
vehicle. When I take a trip through to Brisbane, it probably helps other
franchisees more than me, but ultimately it helps us all.
Think about how you can network with other divisions, they all have a client
base that is already happy with the ‘Jims’ service.
A number of franchisees in these other Divisions also need OUR service.
Trevor Richards
Franchisee ACT & South East NSW
My name is Trevor Richards and I get great satisfaction from doing what I do. My
territory is in South East NSW ranging from the snow fields to the ocean and
everything in between. The majority of the time I am called Jim but occasionally
I am called Trevor from Bombala where my wife and I moved to for a
semi-retirement sea change.
I don’t mind being called Jim as I am proud to wear our uniform. We backup our
product and service with actions and not rhetoric. When you have a service that
allows you to act in the best interests of your client, and you remove a lot of
stress and fear of the unknown for your client, your job satisfaction level is
very high.
There would be few positions in any industry whereby you control your work
level, your job satisfaction level, your income level and have at your command a
support and training assistance package that has been designed to benefit
yourself. Okay I might be a little biased towards Jim’s Test & Tag, but after
two years as a franchisee I have experienced the development of Test & Tag and
we are on a long term affiliation. The beauty of what we do is we are always
meeting someone new.
Good health and cheers,
Trevor Richards
